Modern U.S. History Course: Understand Today’s Headlines through Recent Events
Does Your Teen Like To Debate, Argue, Think Differently? Do They Ask Hard Questions?
If yes, you probably have a thinker and truth seeker in your home who won’t be satisfied with storybook retelling of critical events in American History.
Did you know that events aren’t even considered “history” until 20 years has past? That means recent history will never be in a traditional textbook even though those events are actually shaping and related to current events today. It’s crazy!
At Pallas Center, we know that many teens find “old” history to be disconnected from today. And the way to build interest to the past is often through recent history.
That is why we developed the Ultimate Modern U.S. HIstory Toolkit for homeschooled teens. We believe that there is a better way than skipping the history that all of us remember.
